An important skill a mentor must teach a apprentice is fighting. Warriors will need to know these skills to defend their borders or protect the Clan from attack. Whether from other enemy Clans, badgers, and foxes. Even the medicine cats must learn enough fighting techniques to be useful in battle.
Back Kick
A surprise move to catch opponent from behind. When using you must judge your opponent's distance from you carefully; then lash out with your back legs, taking your weight on your front paws.
Belly Rake
A move that is a fight-stopper. Slice with unsheathed claws across soft flesh of opponent's belly. When you're pinned, this move will quickly put you back in control
Front Paw Blow
A frontal attack, with your claws sheathed. Bring your front paw down hard on your opponent's head
Front Paw Strike
Another frontal attack. Slice downward with your front claws unsheathed at your opponent's body or face.
Killing Bite
A blow that will cause certain death, used on the back of the neck it is quick and silent. Used only as a last resort.
Leap-And-Hold
It is ideal for a small cat facing a large opponent. Spring onto your opponent's back and grip with unsheathed claws. Once on your enemy's back they cannot reach you and you are in position to inflict severe wounds.
Partner Fighting
Warriors that have trained together or fought together will often fall into a paired defensive position. Each cat protecting the others back, fighting off enemy's on either side.
Play Dead
A good move to use in a tight situation. Stop struggling and go limp, then when your opponent relaxes his grip, push yourself up explosively. This will throw off an opponents and put you in a attacking position.
Scruff Shake
Get a strong teeth grip in the scruff of your enemy and shake violently tell they are to rattled to fight back.
Teeth Grip
Target your opponent's legs,tail,scruff,or ears and sink in your teeth and hold. This keeps your claws free to fight.
Upright Lock
A move to be used on a weakened opponent. Rear up on back legs and bring your full weight down on them. If they do the same, wrestle and flip them under you. The move will make your belly vulnerable so it requires great strength and speed.
